Torques $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ are required for a magnetic needle to remain perpendicular to the magnetic fields of $B_1$ and $B_2$ at two different places. The ratio of $B_1: B_2$ is equal to

  • A
    $\tau_2: \tau_1$
  • B
    $\tau_1: \tau_2$
  • C
    $\frac{\tau_1+\tau_2}{\tau_1-\tau_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\tau_1-\tau_2}{\tau_1+\tau_2}$
